COVID-19: 70 percent of those who tested positive are males- Ehanire

The Minster of Health, Dr. Osagie Ehanire, has said that till date, over 2,000 persons have been tested for the coronavirus disease .

“About 70 percent of those who have tested positive are males. The age range is between 30 and 60 years. However, we must note that both men and women of all ages can be affected “It is among this group that we have 12 immediate new entrants, that is, imported cases which added to the 139 we have. Therefore, we have 151 cases of coronavirus in Nigeria.

“Between last week and this week, two new laboratories have been added to the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control network of molecular laboratories for COVID-19. These are Virology Laboratory of University College Hospital, Ibadan, Oyo State and Federal Teaching Hospital Abakaliki , Ebonyi State. “It is important to emphasize that there are no Rapid Diagnostic Tests available that have been validated by the World Health Organization, , because they often give unreliable results.

“Several States have also identified and established isolation centres for treatment of mild and moderate cases. Lagos State has expanded its isolation wards and surge capacity. Yesterday, the Ogun State Governor commissioned isolation centres of over 200 bed capacity in the State.“I urge states to urgently prioritize identification of these within their states particularly tertiary hospitals.

gbenga_omolawon Men travel alot more than women I guess.

The virus is a sexist !

So? 🤔

What's your point?

Women are more indoor people

Please, test all the China donated kits before use.

_caphie how do you explain this gender bias in relation to Nigeria?

Over 70percent of those in the suspected circle are males too I hope somebody is following me?

Men are more mobile. Maybe that is the reason.
